not something that's going to be easy. it will take time and it's not only a military effort. >> isis is not the only threat to us security. in fact, the terrorist organization even more dangerous that's affiliated with al-qaida has already been planning an attack in the us. >> jim osmond has been digging deeper into the group known as khorasan and the danger it presents here at home. >> reporter: this is the face of a little known terror group called khorasan. he was a teenager when 9/11 happened and now has a bounty on his head as the leader. if you haven't heard of the group, khorasan, it's time to listen up. >> one of the reasons people haven't heard of it is it is a very secretive organization. >> reporter: it's an al-qaida affiliate training gihaddists in the us. >> they actually had a plot that

was close to completion. choes khorasan is a part of the al-qaida. not even an off shoot. >> reporter: khorasan is not focused on the regime in syria or the syrian people, but are planting roots in syria to plan for attacks on the west. >> this group out there is potentially yet another threat to the homeland. >> reporter: the group khorasan is believed to be made up of very jihadist organizations, small, secretive and under the radar. terror experts knew relatively little until recently when khorasan threatened the obama organization. >> they did not surface in reporting until just a few weeks ago. >> reporter: now, us intelligence officials are concerned khorasan may include operatives who learned from a man who twice came close to bringing down western airlines.

his country needs apache helicopters and f 16s that the us was supposed to send to more than a year ago, but suspended delivery due to turmoil in the nation. aircrafts will be delivered, and now as important as egypt's military contributions will be, the broad influence they have in the arab world may be just as important. >> the idea is the coalition is formed, and we are pt this coalition, and the symbolism is there with our public announcement that we are part of the coalition. >> we are totally, totally against this isis and against this. it's not just about us. >> reporter: supported by the egyptian government, this man travels the world promoting peace, but even he says against isis, peace will not come easy. >> these people don't want peace by any means. >> reporter: national security analysts say the air offensive

♪ a wusa 9 usa today investigation has identified a secret list of risky natural gas pipelines all over the dc area. >> investigative reporter russ ptacek is battling to get it and reports on an aging underground system, creating risks here and across the country. >> reporter: your neighborhood could be on that list, but we can't tell you because it's not public and officials won't turn it over. the gas companies are fighting our attempts to get it. and it is no secret how dangerous natural gas can be when things go wrong. watch, prince georges fire evacuated 50 people, but firefighters stayed inside a natural gas leak at lito's pizza, and more were moving in.

>> we have an explosion in the building. we have an explosion in the building. >> reporter: the 2009 gas explosion gutted several stores, including the pizza shop owned by mohammad sudiki. >> we had a fire, power outage, and then the gas smell. >> reporter: investigation photos show the damage, including where before that explosion, the pavement behind the store was spewing natural gas. >> it was bubbling. >> you actually saw the pavement bubbling, and you smelled this gas. how strong was the smell? >> it was very strong gas. >> you felt the pavement vibrating? >> vibrating, yes. vibration is very strong. >> and then boom. >> boom. the building blown up. >> reporter: photographs document an area described as underground electric line failing, which resulted in the main gas line melting. >> at one point, we see the roof was booming out and down.

>> reporter: there was no known warning, and lito's has since rebuilt, but our investigation has uncovered documents showing there are now natural gas warnings stamped confidential, identifying specific locations in maryland, virginia, and dc, by risk. >> this document indicates there's a list of the highest risk source, the top 100. does the public have a right to know? >> no. >> what if that's a school or a hospital? >> if it's a school or a hospital, believe me, it's being fixed. >> how do we know that, because we don't know where it is. what if it's my apartment building? >> i'm sorry. we have an obligation to protect critical infrastructure. >> betty ann king is chairman of the dc public service commission. she refused to disclose the location citing security concerns and gas company arguments that they could reveal proprietary information, meaning there is no way to tell if any location is near a gas main

experts have dubbed highest project risk or riskiest pipe segments. look at the list in dc obtained under the freedom of information act. row after row of washington gas pipeline with addresses blacked out. the risk priority score also redacted. virginia officials not only redacted the entire service territory map, but cited confidential information as the reason for leaving off location-identifying attachments that identify threats and rank risk. maryland responded, we do not maintain the utility company's plans. across the country, a usa today wusa 9 investigation identified natural gas explosions causing as many as 21 deaths a year since 2004, killing a total of 135 people. and about every other day, gas leaks causing property damage or destruction or people being injured or killed. 84 of those incidents were in virginia, maryland or dc, unlike the plastic pipes that failed at

lito pizza in forestville. experts say many of the culprits is cast iron pipe purried under ground. a usa analysis identified tens of thousands of miles of pipelines under ground. in maryland, there are more than 1300 miles of cast iron poop-petrators line, in virginia, 332, and in dc, 318 miles, and federal investigators says it's prone to failure and needs replacing. in washington, documents indicate 3.6% of gas carried leaks and goes unaccounted. >> the chance of a pipeline failing in any one place is pretty small, but if you live in one of those older east coast cities that have hundreds of miles of cast-iron pipe, that's just a failure waiting to happen. >> reporter: the usa today analysis showed nationally, companies have already replaced 27,000 miles of cast iron and bare metal pipe, but there are 86,000 miles still under ground.

the gas industry says it is committed to safety in replacing the pipe, but the cast iron and steel pipes are often perfectly safe to operate if they're inspected regularly. >> the work that's going on daily and has been going on for years to replace these pipes. >> reporter: although, there is no way to cross-check those blacked out high-risk addresses, agencies say they are prioritizing high-risk sites in accelerated replacement plans going on now. the plan for replacing all cast iron across the region will take decades. i'm investigative reporter russ ptacek, wusa 9. >> companies are replacing cast iron and there are still segments with plastic and pipe coated with protective layers, and we are going to continue to get those addresses for you. you can learn more about the wusa 9 usa today investigation by going to wusam.9.co you can also enter your zip code for more information that could be about your area. the only station with weather alert days, wusa 9's
